Aerofilm Systems Air Caster Beams

Overview

Many industries deal with heavy equipment
or objects that frequently need to be moved
and have little space available underneath
them. Because of the extreme low build height
of minimum 25mm they are ideal to (lift) and
move different sizes of objects that can be
picked up from underneath. A minimum of two
beams can be used to transport different kinds
of loads, more beams can be applied to handle
larger loads or more complex shapes.

Air caster beams are rectangular shaped transport
devices that contain a minimum of two
air casters. The width is usually determined by
the diameter of the air caster used, the length
often varies. The beams can be equipped with
wheels for unloaded movement. Optional lift
cushions can be added to enable the beams to
lift higher in order to pick up the load. Quite
similar to a pallet truck. The air regulators can
be installed within the beams or placed into an
external cabinet for fine-tuning the air casters
and activating the lift cushions.
